Nice book about sharing, similar to Llama Llama Time to Share. The thing I really liked about this book was that Pete the Kitty and Grumpy Toad figured out a solution all by themselves. Instead of having a grownup come in and lecture them about why sharing is good, they figured things out for themselves. I think this is a good way to get the message across to kids. It’s nice to see a young character figure out a solution rather than having an adult tell them the answer. Nice way to give power to children in such situations.
I picked this up because I work with a little girl who likes Pete the Cat. She also loves pretending to be “baby” versions of her favorite characters (Baby Poppy, Baby Leonardo, Baby Elsa) so I figured it would be a good fit. She loved the idea of a “baby” Pete the Cat. She also enjoyed the bright colors and the catchy refrain of “Mine, mine, mine”.
Overall, a good book about sharing, featuring a beloved children’s book character.
